There's a real inferiority complex going on within our support judging by posts like this. Expectations have been smashed to bits over the last ten years.
Says a lot that posts like this are being made, yet also concern over whether he'll take the bloody Everton job.
I like the guy a lot but he is not some cast iron degree of success. No manager is in football.
Why has this hypothetical poll got me going so much
You'd be hard pressed to find another manager more likely to be successful with any given club than Rafa Benitez though, even with the whole fanbase against him, he delivered for Chelsea when asked to do so.
A true pro and I agree that we'll never have a better manager, at least in my lifetime. Klopp maybe but that'd be 10 years down the road if at all.
If Ashley sits in the back and gives Rafa the autonomy he gave the previous regimes then we get what we want - a club that tries, that is run well and there would be a chance for success.
Ashley goes, and in walks in Massimo Cellino v2. It's a massive gamble, and a silent owner with Rafa Benitez running everything would be the best possible circumstance we could hope for.
Voting A is just voting for revenge, which I understand, but take a step back from the 10 years of lies, s**** and comatose existence and realise what B would actually mean.
Voting A is just voting for revenge? Do you think Ashley's changed or something? Rafa will be gone in two or three years at the most, and then it'll be business as usual.
Elaborate.
Because this will never happen. He's show time and time again that it won't.
Such as ?
Have you been in a coma the last nine years? The only managers he's hired who haven't just been stooges have been treated like shit, lied to, and forced out of the club.
